We are excited to collaborate with Suzhou North America High School and Wake NC State STEM Early College High School on Project-Based Learning (PBI) Global. We will use an inquiry process to explore the theme: What relationships in pond ecosystems? We have used this same inquiry process with hundreds of teachers and students in the US and China. This is the one of the first time that students from NC and from China will collaborate to answer the compelling question and design a culminating multimedia project to share their new knowledge. Our launch date is in October 15th, 2015. We're going to have fun learning about different cultures and creating collaborative projects. Here we go . . .
